RINGS

Share

RINGS is a marriage education program that helps couples learn the skills needed to create and maintain a loving, lasting marriage.

RINGS is offered as a one-day 8-hour session or four weekly 2-hour sessions, in an informal classroom setting, and provides couples with the tools and support they need to go the distance.

RINGS is well-suited for pre-married and married couples of all stages: dating, cohabiting, engaged, newly wed, happily married, struggling, divorced, separated or remarried.

This FREE program includes workbooks and refreshments. Register securely online by clicking on "RINGS schedule & registration" in right sidebar.
